Loads views (layouts and partials):
either compiled views (i.e. JS files), or raw views (i.e. eHTML files).
The loader checks, if compiled views are up-to-date (using the corresponding
checksum file).
If a compiled view is not up-to-date (or its checksum file is missing), then
the raw view will be loaded and compiled.
If raw views are loaded, the parsing-module will loaded for compiling the
views (i.e. if only compiled views are loaded, the dependency for the template
parser and renderer is not required).
Configuration (configuration.json)
The configuration value "usePrecompiledViews" (Boolean) allows
the determine, if views should always be compiled from the eHTML files (even
if up-to-date compiled views are present).
For example, configuration "usePrecompiledViews": true will use
compiled views, while "usePrecompiledViews": false will always
compile the eHTML files.
If the configuration value for mmir.PresentationManager.CONFIG_DEFAULT_LAYOUT_NAME is
set to NULL no default layout will be loaded.
If mmir.PresentationManager.CONFIG_DEFAULT_LAYOUT_NAME is a non-empty string, then
the corresponding layout will be used as default layout, instead of
mmir.PresentationManager.DEFAULT_LAYOUT_NAME.
